Yahoo getting structure

We are seeing reports that Yahoo is going to launch a new structured search component to their web search engine.

Web search is typically considered "unstructured," where there isn't a real method of comparing sets of results side by side, in a data comparison grid structure. Yahoo hopes to offer structured search for certain types of queries to help aid the searcher in their information retrieval process.

A Yahoo executive said they will likely start offering structure search for e-commerce sites and similar online applications.
